The Rabbis say: Why does the Torah call him "a new king"? Is he not the same Par'o himself? Rather, the Egyptians said to Par'o, "Come, let us engage this nation [the Israelites in battle]!" He told them, "You fools! Until now, we [only] ate [food] because of them - how could we engage them? If it weren't for Yosef, we wouldn't have lived!" Since he did not listen to them, they dethroned him for 3 months - until he finally told them, "Whatever you want, I am with you," so they returned him to the throne. Therefore, it is written, "And a new king arose."

Any connection to events that had transpired in Egypt in the past 12 months are purely non-coincidental.

About Me

Who is "yaak"?
I'm a half-Sepharadi, half-Ashkenazi, Haredi Zionist. I hope that clears it all up. :-)
I went to a Haredi elementary school, a mixed Haredi/modern high school, Haredi Yeshiva in Israel, and back to a mixed Yeshiva after that. I have a masters degree in computer science and Semicha.
BA"H Mash'ala, I'm married to a wonderful wife with 6 great children.
Hoping to meet each one of my readers in Yerushalayim when we are Olim LeRegel there very soon...
